After five months in Spain (initially meant to be
two months but extended) we are finally returning to our home in Ojai, California this month. It
has been amazing to spend some time here,
especially seeing my parents, and little Ty having the privilege of spending time with them
most days. However, now Ojai is calling us
back to its wonderful ways. We are missing our
friends there, the mystical energy, the beautiful
oak trees, and seeing the humming birds flitting
about the flowers.
The last few weeks have been a little stressful.
Firstly, one evening Ty threw up a bright yellow
liquid all over the floor, himself, my pyjamas,
and the bed sheetsâ&#x20AC;Ś twelve times in total. This
concerned me somewhat and we were debating whether or not to take him to the hospital.
We decided not to when, after throwing up for
the eleventh time, he raised his arms towards
the bedroom door handle, asking with his eyes,
in his usual chirpy manner, to be lifted up so he
could open it. Shortly after opening and closing
the door several times, he fell asleep on the
bed, exhausted. He woke up the next morning
and asked for the ipad, so at that point we knew
he was totally fine!

Strange News
who has had this, you will know it is painful and
not much fun. It is also very time consuming,
as getting better involves taking various vitamins, massages, drinking turmeric with hot
water, and applying hot packs, castor oil, and
even cabbage leaves, would you believe?!
But all better now, and about to head to my
mum and dad’s, who are currently looking after
Ty, so I can feed him and also have a spot of
lunch.
Adios for now.... Take a look at page 105 for all
the fiestas and events taking place in April,
enjoy!!

Hot cash
Customers in Mexico hoping to use a cash machine were forced to wait after they found a
couple having sex next to it instead.
There are probably more romantic backdrops
around than the wall of a bank, but for one couple it seemed it was a good place to spend
some quality time together.
They were filmed locked in an embrace, as the
woman steadied herself by putting her hand on
the cash machine, under a sign reading HSBC.
As no-one wanted to go inside to use the cash
machine while it was going on, a crowd built up
outside the bank in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Mile high pint
AN airline has introduced the world's first beer
specially designed to taste best at 35,000 feet.
Cathay Pacific has adopted scientific
processes to produce Betsy Beer which counteracts the effect cabin pressure has in dulling
the tastebuds.
"Dragon eye fruits" from Hong Kong, honey
and Fuggle hops are featured in the special
recipe which "fuses brewing techniques with
aviation science."
Aliens on the moon?
Space agencies

Moon
any
more... because
it is too dangerous for us to go
there, it has been
claimed.
A growing conspiracy theory suggests the Moon is occupied
by advanced aliens that have banned humans
from returning.
The theory links in with others that claim there
are alien bases on the dark side of the Moon.
In a feature devoted to the theory, conspiracy
theory website Ancient Code said: "Have you
ever asked yourself why mankind has not returned to the moon in recent years?
"According to many researchers and Ufologists, the American space agency is hiding a
sinister secret from society, and we are not familiar with everything that has occurred—and
is still occurring—on the surface of the moon.
"Many people claim there is enough evidence
to suggest there are Alien bases on the moon.
"Rumours, declassified documents and whistleblowers have come forward saying that agencies around the globe simply cannot afford to
let society know what’s really on the moon."

Funny Thoughts
Just think about it...
Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or
have gone stark raving mad.
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour,
while dishwashing liquid is made with real
lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money
called a 'Broker'?
Why isn't there a mouse flavoured cat food?
Why do they call the airport 'the terminal' if flying is so safe?
I had the blues because I had no shoes until
upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
If people from Poland are called 'Poles', why
aren't people from Holland called 'Holes?'

You can discover more about a person in an
hour of play than in a year of conversation.
Why is a wise man and wise guy opposites?
Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite
things?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can
be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you
gasp for breath.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep,
and you weep alone.

Interesting Facts... Often at the centre of Middle Eastern conflicts, despite its small size, because of its borders with Syria and Israel and
its uniquely complex communal make-up,

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the
League of Nations put Lebanon under a
French mandate until it declared independence

Food As Medicine
Welcome to our Food As Medicine section.
Each month we will be featuring different
fresh food items and showing you how they
help us all to stay healthy and happy. We'll

diet to address many common ailments that
affect us all from time to time.
No 4. Carrot... A Brief History
Carrots (Daucus carota L.), originally yellow
and purple in colour, were first documented in
Persia and Northern Arabia in the 10th century
and by the mid-15th century were known
across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe
and China. Yellow carrots were preferred in
northern Europe until the development of orange carrots in The Netherlands in the 18th
century.
It is believed that Egyptian Pharaohs used carrots for medicinal purposes. The early Native
Americans used carrot roots for food and also
utilised an infusion of the blossoms to treat diabetes.
The Food
Deliciously crunchy and bitter/sweet in taste,
carrots are a root vegetable containing
carotenoids, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, vitamins and minerals, all of which possess numerous nutritional and health benefits. Besides
lending truth to the old adage that carrots are
good for eyes, the phytonutrients present in
carrots also act as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and immunoenhancers.
The Medicine
Carrots help repair damaged cells and they are
a great food for the liver health. They are a
quality source of beta-carotene that our body
uses to create the Vitamin A that is so vital for
the health of our eyes, bones, teeth and skin.
They are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin,
which are also important for eye health. The
leaves are highly antiseptic and can be used to
heal mouth ulcers, bleeding gums and can be
used as a mouthwash to neutralise bad breath.
Containing vitamin A, B, C, E and K, biotin and
dietary fibre, carrots also provide us with;
potassium, calcium, sulphur, sodium, phosphorus and manganese.
Carrots can be used in the treatment of:
Failing eyesight / Lung and pancreatic cancer
Colds / Anaemia / Deteriorating complexion
Unhealthy nails, skin and hair / Diarrhoea
Ulcers / Haemorrhoids

The Side Effects
Improves eyesight / Boosts heart health
Reduces blood pressure / Aids digestion
Stimulates gums
Did you Know?
Carrots are made up of approximately 80%
water.
While the availability of the antioxidants in carrots increases when cooked, most of the vitamins and minerals are destroyed.
Carrots were originally grown as medicine for
a variety of ailments but were not used as food.
Our absorption of Vitamin A is significantly enhanced when we eat raw carrots together with
fresh avocado.
Holtville, California, with the motto, "we dig carrots" calls itself the carrot capital of the world
and holds an annual carrot festival.
And finallyâ&#x20AC;Ś
What did the snowman say to the crow?
Can you smell carrots?

Professional Window Tinting & Solar Blinds
How can we enjoy the sunshine at home,
not get too hot and keep air conditioning
costs down? The answer is Heat Control
Window Film - supplied and fitted by Solar
Shade to glass curtains, glazed balconies,
conservatories, cars, caravans, yachts – in
fact anywhere you have glass, that's where
we can stick it!
So what does Heat Control film do?
As it sounds, it controls the sun’s heat entering
the room through the glazing, making it a comfortable temperature – for example reducing
40+ Celsius to 25-30 Celsius so that air conditioning doesn't have to work so hard, thus saving money. The other unique thing is it will
retain winter heat too by insulating the glass
and upgrading older glass to current energy
standards. This also reduces glare when the
sun is low in the sky during winter months. It
provides a safety feature too, by holding broken glass together in the event of an accident,
thus making older single glazed glass safer –
especially in areas of constant use by children.
Once installed it's maintenance free but it adds
privacy to your home, office, vehicle or yacht
and prevents fading, so will enhance the aesthetic value overall. The Heat Film can also be
supplied as a Solar blind if you want the flexibility of only seasonal use. Roller or vertical
blinds can be positioned as needed to reflect
glare and heat but still give that all-important
view and insulate the window in winter.
So go on...improve your living environment,
and make living in the sun truly comfortable!

If you'd like to know more,
email ian@solarshadetinting.com or give
us a call on 958 49 65 71 or 644 54 61 76
and ask to speak to Ian.
See our advert opposite

Cars, offices, patio doors, glass
curtains and we can put the tint film
into a roll down or vertical blind for
occasional use.
In fact: If it’s glass we’ll tint it!

Tendonitis Explained
Throughout our lives our GP will tell us at
some point that we have tendonitis. We nod
our heads, take the medication and are still
none the wiser as to what it actually means

Chris and Noy, owners of Bhua Luang Thai
restaurant in Torre del Mar, have closed
their doors in order to make a new move
with their youngest child, Luke, to the beautiful island of Phuket in Thailand.
After more than 14 years of living in Spain cooking and serving Thai food, they decided to make
the big move. The new challenge of running a
busy hotel in Thailand all came about very suddenly and it was an opportunity that they could
not refuse. They will be sad to leave little old
Torre del Mar, and they will miss their friends,
customers and aquaintances that they have
met over the years. They would have loved to
have said goodbye to each of you, but sadly,
time did not allow. If anyone is visiting Phuket
in the future and misses Noy’s cooking – or
Chris’s humour – you will find them here (Green
Harbor Service Apartments, Patong, Phuket,
Thailand)

The Sentinella team would like to thank Noy
and Chris for their custom over the past
years and wish them all the very best in their
new venture xx

Broken down, the word tendonitis actually explains itself. Tendons are the connective tissue
that attach muscle to the bone and let your
muscles move your bones. When you look at a
muscle you see the muscle belly and where it
tapers off at each end is the tendon.
The suffix ‘Itis’ means inflammation and
swelling. Here are some examples:
Tendonitis = inflammation of the tendon
Arthritis = inflammation of the joints
Tonsilitis = inflammation of the tonsils
Hepatisis = inflammation of the liver
Laryngitis = inflammation of the larynx.
Tendonitis When tendons are stretched beyond their capacity either overtime ie; overuse,
repetitive strain, or an immediate injury when
the muscles or tendons are stretched beyond
their limits.
For example:
Tendonitis in the shoulder – The most

Please mention The Sentinella when responding to adverts

Tendonitis Explained (Continued)
common form of tendonitis in the shoulder is
rotator cuff tendonitis. It involves the tendon of
the supraspinatus muscle, which attaches to
the upper portion of the upper arm bone
(humerus) at the shoulder joint. Less commonly, the tendon of the infraspinatus muscle
or other tendons of the rotator cuff is affected.
In most cases, the supraspinatus tendon is injured by overuse, typically in an occupation or
sport that requires the arm to be elevated repeatedly. People at risk include carpenters,
painters, welders, swimmers and tennis players. The average patient is a male laborer older
than 40, and the shoulder pain is on the same
side as his dominant hand (for example, right
shoulder pain in a right-handed person).
Tendonitis of the elbow - tennis elbow causes
pain on the outer side of the elbow joint. This
condition probably affects 40% to 50% of all
adult athletes who play racket sports. It also
can be caused by any activity that repeatedly
twists and flexes the wrist, such as pulling

weeds, using a screwdriver or even carrying a
briefcase.
Golfer's elbow causes pain on the inner side of
the elbow. It is a less common injury than tennis elbow and, despite its name, it is more likely
to be related to an occupation that requires repeated elbow movements (such as construction work) than to sports. When it does occur
as a sports injury, medial epicondylitis can be
triggered by repeatedly swinging a golf club.
Treatment of tendonitis is Ice, rest, anti-inflammatories and adapt the repetitive movements
to put less strain on the area affected.
Always seek professional help from your
remedial therapist and in extreme cases
seek medical help.

All of a twitter
Hard on the heels of the embarrassing blunder
at this year’s Oscars, where the film La La
Land was mistakenly announced by Bonnie
and Clyde duo Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as having won the Best Picture award –
instead of ‘Moonlight’ – fans went into meltdown on Twitter, putting forward a number of
conspiracy theories.
It appears that the duo read from the wrong
card at the prestigious ceremony, but some
fans have even blamed Leonardo Di Caprio for
the debacle.
Viewers noticed the actor was holding the envelope for Best Actress, which was awarded to
Emma Stone moments before the blunder.
One fan shared a snap of Leo on stage with
Emma, and tweeted: "LEO CARRIED THAT
CARD OFFSTAGE PUT IT DOWN WHEN HE
SAW WARREN AND WARREN PICKED IT UP
#oscars."
Another referenced Leo’s years of missing out
on a golden statue, and wrote: "Leo masterminded this whole thing. After winning last year,
he still yearned for revenge for years of embarrassment #Oscars."
A third user wrote: “Tonight Leonardo DiCaprio
achieved his 40-year long-planned revenge to
the academy awards by changing the envelopes. #Oscars #Oscar2017.”
Father’s fortune
David Bowie's lawyers have urged the singer’s
secret love children to come forward and claim
part of his £80m fortune.
The late Space Oddity singer made no secret
of his past promiscuity and now lawyers acting
on behalf of his estate have urged anyone who
believes he was their father to come forward.
A legal notice of appeal published in The Times
gives Bowie's real name of David Robert
Jones, who lived in New York, and asks for
written claims to be made to Simkins lawyers
in London by May 4 2017.
Twice-married Bowie has two known children
– Duncan Jones, 45, and 16-year-old Alexandria Zahra Jones, from his marriages to Angie
Bowie, 67, and Iman Abdulmajid, 61, respectively.
Opening up about his infamously hedonistic
lifestyle during the 70s and 80s in a 2002 interview with Jonathan Ross, Bowie described
himself as "incredibly promiscuous".
Katie lashes out
Erstwhile glamour model and now Loose
Women star Katie Price has taken a swipe at
ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke over their son, Harvey.

She
lashed out on
twitter after seeing
reports that the former
Manchester United footballer was
not allowed into the US - the result of a
previous trip to
Iran – and took
the opportunity
to hint he should
visit the teenager
instead.
"Why don't you
fly to West Sussex Dwight. The
door is always

she
wrote.
Speaking about
the disabled 14year-old Harvey,
Dwight
previously told BBC Radio 5: "I would like to play an
integral part in his upbringing, of course.
"I love my kid but wasn't given the opportunity
to really bring him up in the manner I would like
to bring him up in."
Friends? Probably not
Matt LeBlanc has revealed that he "didn’t
know" his Top Gear co-host Chris Evans had
quit the show until he read it in the news. Former Friends actor Matt said the radio DJ "does
not speak to him" after announcing that he was
leaving the show after just one series. Speaking for the first time about Chris, 50, leaving,
Matt said: “I did not know what was coming
until I read that in the paper. I also haven’t
heard from him since - which is his choice.
"I saw the stories that we weren’t getting along
and there was a row between us but we were
fine," he explained. "I like Chris Evans. I think
my schedule is tough, but he was doing a radio
show every morning, and that was a lot to deal
with."
Appearing to accept the perceived lack of
chemistry between himself and Friends star
Matt, Chris commented: "Some things, however, simply don’t work out.
"It seems I

Fr Facts
Veg Onions
As well as making us cry, onions have a
whole host of other properties!
Prevents diabetes: A single serving of onions
contains 27% of your biotin DRI. Biotin has
many positive impacts on your health, one of
which is combatting symptoms associated with
type 2 diabetes. Early research suggests that
a combination of biotin and chromium might
help regulate blood sugar and even decrease
insulin resistance.
Healthy skin: Biotin is also important in maintaining healthy skin. It is used to treat brittle
nails, prevent hair loss (although research is
still ongoing as to its effectiveness in this regard) and maintain skin health.
Improved immunity: Onions contain both vitamin C and phytochemicals that increase the
effectiveness of vitamin C in your body. What
does that mean? A healthier, more effective immune system, that’s what!
Prevents cancer: Quercetin is more than just
a funny-looking word. It’s also a plant flavonoid
(which mans plant pigment) that possesses potent antioxidants, which fight against cancercausing free radicals. Free radicals are
chemical compounds that damage cell membranes and cause cell death. Onions are rich
in quercetin and thus are a powerful weapon in
the war against cancer.
Relieves stress: Quercetin doesn’t stop there.
It also helps protect your body against stress.
When you are stressed out, your body produces cortisol. While cortisol is totally normal,
too much of it can damage muscle tissue and
cause protein breakdown in the body. That’s
where quercetin-rich onions come in. During
times of prolonged stress, quercetin suppresses the enzyme required for cortisol re-

lease. Next time you have a stressful deadline
to meet at work, bring along a few raw onions
to snack on!
Lowers cholesterol: Raw onion also promotes production of HDL which is the good
cholesterol that you need to stay healthy.
Anti-inflammatory: Onions have anti-inflammatory properties to help those who suffer from
joint pain and arthritis. But the benefits of betalain are not limited to those with swollen joints
– all disease is rooted in chronic inflammation
and, therefore, everyone should seek out foods
with anti-inflammatory properties.
Lowers blood pressure: The sulphur in
onions acts as a natural blood thinner and prevents blood platelets from collecting. This is
good for lowering blood pressure and preventing the risk of heart attack or stroke, because
you are more susceptible if blood platelets clog
up. And remember quercetin? Of course you
do. Well, it also helps prevent plaque build-up
in the arteries which is good for preventing
heart attacks and strokes.
Digestion: Onions are high in fibre, which is
good for maintaining a healthy and regular digestive system. Fibre prevents digestive pain
and breaks down food and helps to keep it
moving.
Bone density: Onions bolster bone density for
older women. One study found that
menopausal women who incorporated onions
into their diet had a 20% lower risk of health
disease.

Spring Is In The Air
Spring has sprung!!!

resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt
to revive also." --Harriet Ann Jacobs

that knows poems." --Rainier Maria Rilke
"The day the Lord created hope was probably
the same day he created Spring."--Bernard
Williams

"To be interested in the changing seasons is a
happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in
love with spring." --George Santayana
"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it
like?". . . "It is the sun shining on the rain and
the rain falling on the sunshine . . ." --Frances
Hodgson Burnett
"If people did not love one another, I really
don't see what use there would be in having
any spring." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
"Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's
party!" --Robin Williams

"People ask me what I do in winter when
there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare
out the window and wait for spring." --Roger
Hornsby
"Spring won't let me stay in this house any
longer! I must get out and breathe the air
deeply again." --Gustav Mahler
"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with
a shoe full of slush." --Doug Larson

People Who Come And Go - Should I Stay Or Shall I Go?
As I go about my business of taking on, offering and selling properties in this area, I
have continuously come across vendors
who, having reached a certain mature age,
are selling up, but are not too sure whether
to move to the coast or a town here in
Spain, or make the move back to their
countries of origin. Sometimes it is an obvious choice: the lure of spending time with
new grandchildren, the need to return to
one’s routes one’s home town.. But often
my vendors, with no particular ties in their
countries of origin, are just not sure what
to do when it finally comes to the moment
they accept an offer on their house. Both
options have their advantages and disadvantages.
Last week a little event happened as I was
standing at the Mercadona checkout which
made me smile a wide smile and made it clear
to me which would be my own choice. As I was
putting my shopping into bags, helped, as usually happens in that particular supermarket, by
the thirty-something, plump, healthy-looking
girl at the checkout, an old man, next in the
queue, no doubt sent to fetch some last minute

forgotten household items by a wife or daughter in law somewhere in the town, stared at the
plump cashier and broke into song. It was a
happy, flamenco-style song, full of love and
adoration of the female form. The cashier,
laughing, joked to the shoppers in a loud voice
how there’s no need to go to a concert when
you can have it for free in the supermarket!
Everyone laughed and shouted at the old man,
with olé’s and pats on the back, and the old
man kept singing his heart out to the cashier.
It was a beautiful moment, where complete
strangers shared a moment of the joy of life together, with no inhibitions, just a pure love for
life! At that moment, I thought that to live
among these people brings us closer to what
humanity is, and should be about. For me, living here is not just about the weather, it’s the
people, and the whole way of living that makes
it special. And that is why I would not leave.
What we do here and how involved we become
is up to us. But the more involved we become
in the local community the more life we will live
to the full.

Chocci Facts
Tis the season to eat choccies
Chocolate comes from a fruit tree; it’s made
from a seed.
It takes 400 cocoa beans to make one pound
of chocolate.
Each cacao tree produces approximately 2,500
beans.
Research to date supports that chocolate can
be enjoyed as part of a balanced, heart-healthy
diet and lifestyle.
The average serving of milk chocolate has
about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of
decaf coffee.
Because cacao trees are so delicate, farmers
lose, on average, 30 percent of their crop each
year.
U.S. chocolate manufacturers use about 3.5
million pounds of whole milk every day to make
milk chocolate.

Studies have demonstrated that one of the
major saturated fats in chocolate does not raise
cholesterol like other hard fats–meaning
chocolate can be enjoyed in moderation.
Theobroma Cacao is the tree that produces
cocoa beans, and it means “food of the gods.”
Carolus Linnaeus, the father of plant taxonomy,
named it.
Approximately 3 million tons of cocoa beans
are turned into chocolate products each year.
Rudolph Lindt designed the first conching machine, its bed curved like a conch shell.
Cote d’Ivoire is the single largest producer of
cocoa, providing roughly 40 percent of the
world’s supply.

Frankincense, sometimes referred to as
olibanum, is a common type of essential oil
that can offer a variety of health benefits, including helping to relieve chronic stress
and anxiety, reducing pain and inflammation, boosting immunity, and even potentially helping to fight cancer.
Frankincense oil is sourced from the resin of
the Boswellia carterii or Boswellia sacara tree
that’s commonly grown in Somalia. The word
frankincense comes from the term “franc encens,” which means quality incense in old
French.
Top 5 Frankincense Uses
1. Stress-Relieving Bath Soak
Frankincense oil immediately induces the feeling of peace, relaxation and satisfaction. Add
a few drops of frankincense oil to a hot bath for
stress relief.
2. Natural Household Cleaner
Frankincense oil is an antiseptic, meaning it
helps eliminate bacteria and viruses from your
home and clean indoor spaces.
3. Natural Hygiene Product
Due to its antiseptic properties, frankincense
oil is a great addition to any oral hygiene regi

men. It can help prevent dental health issues
like tooth decay, bad breath, cavities or oral infections.
4. Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Fighter
Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect skin cells. It can
be used to help reduce acne blemishes, the
appearance of large pores, prevent wrinkles,
and it even helps lift and tighten skin to naturally slow signs of aging.
5. Scar, Wound, Stretch Mark or Acne Remedy
Frankincense oil can help with wound healing
and may decrease the appearance of scars. It
may also help reduce the appearance of dark
spots caused from acne blemishes, stretch
marks, eczema and help with healing of surgical wounds. Mix two to three drops of oil with
an unscented base oil or lotion and apply directly to skin.

Wine: Gems Of Italy

both indigenous and

plus

From the 18th century the estate has been the
property of the Counts Faina of Civitella dè

easy-drinking white wines. Straw-yellow in
colour and each with a fresh fruit bouquet, plus
dry flavour, make these very popular selections, for many. Splendid pairings with fish and
white meat dishes. For a sparkling production
I enjoy the Senatore Zeffirino. This superb brut
sparkling wine is elegant with its persistent perlage that enhances a dining occasion and is
also often chosen for celebrations and events.
An admirable aroma leads, enticingly, to the

The wines produced at the Collelungo Winery
are appreciated and respected by a good num-

The ruby-red Pinot Noir 1883 wine is classic
and aged in top-quality French oak barriques.
The bouquet of dark fruits is most inviting. The

TAURUS: April 21-May 21

Your fantasies can help you change your circumstances and create the environment you
wish to spend time in. Face an obstacle head on in
the first week of April to reap reward and happiness.

LEO: July 23-August 23
Avoid rushing into financial deals at the beginning of April. Assess and check before making
decisions. You’ll have a brainwave or two on the
12th/13th and should feel sufficiently energized to act
on them

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19
This month you need to focus on what’s really
important and be prudent about your priorities

Clubs &
Societies

‘The 'Big Cats' are here. We are a group of Jaguar
enthusiasts living in Andalucia and have just celebrated our first birthday. We have a meeting each
month for a meal and a good old chat about our cars.
On occasions we organise something rather more
special, Mystery Tours or Weekends Away. The
Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club is the largest Jaguar Club
in the world and was formed in 1984, by members of
other Jaguar Clubs, for the enthusiast who not only
used, but maintained or restored their SS, Jaguar or
Daimler. Contact Philip Wray on 669 434 457

Jokes h
Thanks to AP & MP for the following jokes
The man placed an order for one hamburger,
French fries and a drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his
wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries,
dividing them into two piles and neatly placed
one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip
and then set the cup down between them. As
he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the
people around them were looking over and
whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old
couple - all they can afford is one meal for the
two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man
came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man
said, they were just fine - they were used to
sharing everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old
lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching
her husband eat and occasionally taking turns
sipping the drink..
Again, the young man came over and begged
them to let him buy another meal for them. This
time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are
used to sharing everything.'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping
his face neatly with the napkin, the young man
again came over to the little old lady who had
yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What
is it you are waiting for?'
She answered
"The teeth".
------------------------------------------------------------I walked into the pet shop yesterday and saw
an old mate working there. I said, "alright
Davey, don't you work in Burger King anymore
then?"
"Nah, moved on since then. What can I get
you?"
"Glad to hear it. I'm looking for a tropical frog."

"Do you want flies with that?"
------------------------------------------------------------Technology has come on so far recently. Just
today a policeman told me about a jumper that
you can actually use as a phone. After stopping
me in my car he said. "If you insist on making
calls when you're driving at least use a hands
free set or pull over". "Wow! what an age we
live in." I said.
------------------------------------------------------------What's huge, with four-wheel drive and no child
seats?
Every car in the "Parent & Child" spaces at Miramar!!
------------------------------------------------------------I walked up to a fat bloke in the gym and said,
"What are you pressing at the moment?"
"Why do you want to know?" he asked.
"I'm just interested" I said, "Come on, what are
you pressing?"
He said, "E31, it's a Mars Bar."
------------------------------------------------------------A six-year-old goes to the hospital with her
mother to visit her Grandpa.
When they get to the hospital, she runs ahead
of her mother and bursts into her grandpa's
room.
"Grandpa, Grandpa," she says excitedly,
"As soon as my mum comes into the room
make a noise like a frog!â&#x20AC;?
"What?" said her grandpa.
"Make a noise like a frog because my mum
said that as soon as you croak, we're all going
to disneyland!â&#x20AC;?
------------------------------------------------------------Apparently the wind has caused 2 million
pounds worth of improvements in Blackpool.
------------------------------------------------------------When one door closes, another one opens.
These IKEA wardrobes are shit!
------------------------------------------------------------A man goes into a library and asks the librarian,
"Have you got a book about the surgical removal of non vital organs?"
The librarian replies,"Yes, its that one over
there without an appendix."

Arriving at the gates of heaven God greeted
Frank Carson.
God invites Frank to break bread with him.
Frank said 'Lord, I don't wish to complain but, I
think this bread is stale?’
God said, it's not bread Frank, 'It's a Cracker'!
------------------------------------------------------------The stunning blonde dressed in nothing more
than a thong and negligee, let the plumber in.
"Hello, is your husband not in?" he asked,
"Does it look like he is in?" she replied opening
her negligee, "Will I not do?"
"No, not really," he said, "I need your car reversing out of the drive."
------------------------------------------------------------I bought a train ticket to France and the ticket
seller said, 'Eurostar?'
I said, 'Well I’m on the radio but I'm no Elvis
Presley.'
------------------------------------------------------------I've just found out that I'm on the government
watch list.
I hope they get me a Rolex!!
------------------------------------------------------------A friend of mine just invited me to join a Facebook group about getting rid of graffiti in town.
So I wrote on his wall.
------------------------------------------------------------“I’m learning the hokey cokey. Not all of it. But
I’ve got the ins and outs.”
------------------------------------------------------------My mate was telling me about the time he was
bareknuckle boxing with a gypsy.
He got in a few lucky punches, but ultimately
he ended up buying her f***** pegs
------------------------------------------------------------This Policeman approached me and said,
"Could you accompany me to the station sir",
I said, "Why, I haven't done anything".
He said, "I know, but it's really scary around
here".
I hate it when people steal quotes from films.
It makes me angry, and you wouldn't like me
when I'm angry.
------------------------------------------------------------"Janet across the road has just called me in

and showed me her tits!" I said to my wife.
"WHAT!!?? I'll f***** kill her!" she yelled and
stormed out of the house.
Oh dear, I hope she doesn't damage her
aviary!
------------------------------------------------------------A guy came into my shoe shop today. He said,
"I'd like a pair of red shoes please."
"Certainly sir," I replied. "What size?"
"Size 18 and a half”
F******* clown.
------------------------------------------------------------Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after
crossing into the United States, wandering
aimlessly and starving.
They are about to just lie down and wait for
death, when all of a sudden Luis says: "Hey
Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I
theenk."
"Is, Luis, eet sure smell like bacon."
With renewed hope, they struggle up the next
sand dune & there in the distance, is a tree
loaded with bacon.
There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back
bacon, double smoked bacon, every imaginable kind of cured pork.
"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Ees a bacon
tree!"
"Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the
desert don't forget."
"Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a
meerage that smell like bacon? Ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree!"
With that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He
gets to within 5 yards, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up,
and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mortally
wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath:
"Pepe, go back man, you was right, ees not a
bacon tree!"
"Luis, Luis miamigo, what ees it?"
"Pepe ees not a bacon tree. Ees...Ees...Ees...
Ees...Ees...Ees...
Ees... a ham bush."
